Seems those zany oenophiles are not letting the grape rot grow under their feet and are even more pretentious since I last visited the great wine comedy. nb ...aka zinn |

Actually, I'm a fennel and anise snob. I don't think they can be improved on, not even with the most forward wine. |

However, I could see that the combination with the right wine might be very pleasant, although not necessarily an improvement. At first taste together, it might be a very nice surprise. -- Wayne Boatwright (correct the spelling of "geemail" to reply) ************************************************** ********************** Date: Monday, 12(XII)/08(VIII)/08(MMVIII) ************************************************** ********************** Countdown till Christmas Day 2wks 2dys 4hrs 41mins ************************************************** ********************** Subvert the dominant paradigm! ************************************************** ********************** |

I make a chicken bouillabaisse from Patricia Wells' Bistro Cooking..and while I haven't made it in a while, my memory of it says it matches well with a dry rose. Christine |

But things like that also go with a good red wine... Preferably one from the south of France... And no, I don't *think* I am a wine snob, but I do love a really good wine. Most of the ones these days are way too fruity for me, which is why I like a lot of the ones made in France, where they know to tone it down a bit. I don't like drinking fruit juice ...LOL. I tend to like really dry wines, that marry well with food. I have been lucky to live in the San Francisco bay area, where there is a profound appreciation of good wine, and where it is not frowned upon to have a glass of wine with lunch.... And where there are countless wine events..... I learned a lot there... Christine |

Same for fennel/anise being mistaken for licorice. Oh, I can understand the similarity, but they are just not the same. Kinda like soy or turkey being mistaken for real beef. Sorry! Not in my world. On that forward crap: ---- Forward Wine that has accelerated its maturity more quickly than expected is described as ´forward¡ (as opposed to backward). Also, in tasting notes, ´forward fruit¡ indicates that there is a high concentration of fruit tasted in the wine. As in social circles, too much forwardness can be obnoxious and a turn-off. ----- "more quickly"? "...is a high concentration of fruit tasted in wine"? WTF!? Of course there is a "fruit tasted in wine". Wine IS MADE FROM FRUIT!!! I love the phrase, "too much forwardness can be obnoxious and a turn-off.". Are we speaking of the wine or the pretentious assholes paying more attention to their standing amongst fellow oenophiles than how good an even decent wine can be? nb |
